A biology professor is speaking out, demanding an apology and calling for an end to attempts to “perpetuate lies against evolution” after a statement from him was taken out of

portion of his statement was picked from the whole, leaving a completely different impression from his actual statement.
The article spoke of educated scientists who don’t believe that evolution occurred, and
they quoted Professor of Biology Rama Singh to make their point. Professor Singh teaches Biology at McMaster University, in Ontario, Canada. The statement appears to show

In a letter to the editor of the magazine, the biology professor said that, in the paper from
which the quote was taken, he went on to explain the nonreligious reasons which lead
people to doubt evolution. Professor Singh’s reasons can be summed up simply, though:
people doubt evolution because they do not understand it. That’s a far cry from indicating
that there are good, science-based reasons to doubt the current understanding of evolu-

Professor Singh speaks respectfully of religion as a whole, pointing out that many branches of Christianity and other religions have accepted evolution, and that doing so is no bar
to believing in God. He closes with a suggestion that one who would understand evolution
must study and meditate on it, stopping short of suggesting that the editors of Awake! do
